ASTM D1708Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics by Use of Microtensile Specimens
ASTM D1708 is used to determine the tensile and elongation properties of small plastic microtensile specimens. These plastic specimens can be of any thickness up to 3.2 mm (1/8 in), including thin films. This test method does not require the use of an extensometer.
Before conducting ASTM D1708, it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
